Bug Description
Folowing upgrade 14.10 -> 15.04, in a root terminal:
root@adiabat:~# gedit
No protocol specified
** (gedit:8757): WARNING **: Could not open X display
No protocol specified
gdk_mir_
Failed to connect to Mir: Failed to connect to server socket: No such file or directory
Unable to init server: Could not connect: Connection refused
(gedit:8757): Gtk-WARNING **: cannot open display: :0
root@adiabat:~#
However, from a user terminal, " gedit" and "gksu gedit" both work just fine.

This isn't a bug with the release upgrader, the software that provides release upgrades, rather with the system after the release upgrade. Subsequently, I am removing the package.
